Bought mine from hasbean, fantastic thing.

Even my most fussiest of coffee drinking friends was impressed. Ended up buying a second for home (was to be used just in the office originally)

I've had one for years, but don't use it that much these days as prefer to use the stove top instead.

If I can offer one piece of advice when using the aeropress, it's this.

Do NOT ever, ever, ever try to push down the plunger quickly. If you do (and I dare say you will try at some point, everyone seems to) it's highly likely that you and all the surfaces immediately around the Aeropress & cup/mug will be covered with coffe!

I've got one. I like it but it's not [b]quite[/b] as good as the PR says it is but still pretty damn good. It's travelled with me a lot since I got it and it means I can even make decent coffee in hotel rooms rather than the rubbish you usually get.

There's all sorts of rubbish about how to make the best cup with an aeropress and the only one I've found to be particularly accurate is about the quality of the beans and the fineness of the grind. I've tried inverted methods, different filters, different amounts of stirring but honestly, the obvious way (10s stir then plunge slowly) is about the best for me.
